Formulas Required
The template leverages Excel's formula engine to ensure automation and accuracy:
- `=TEXT(TODAY(),"MM/DD/YYYY")` – Used in the header to display current date.
- `=IF(DATE(YYYY,MM,DD)-TODAY()>7,"Future Week","Current Week")` – Helps determine week relevance.
- `=COUNTIFS(StatusRange,"Completed",PriorityRange,"High")` – Counts high-priority completed tasks for dashboard.
- `=VLOOKUP(MeetingTitle, MeetingTracker!A:F, 4, FALSE)` – Pulls meeting location based on title in Main Planner.
- Conditional logic like `=IF(AND(Status="In Progress", Priority="High"), "Urgent", "")` – Flags critical tasks.
These formulas are pre-embedded but fully editable to suit advanced users.
Conditional Formatting
The template uses conditional formatting for visual clarity:
- **Overdue Tasks**: Any task with a due date earlier than today is highlighted in red.
- **High Priority**: Tasks marked as "High" are highlighted in bright yellow with red text.
- **Completed Status**: Rows marked "Completed" have a green background and strike-through text.
- **Upcoming Meetings**: Meetings within the next 24 hours show a blinking amber border (using conditional formatting rules).
- **Resource Conflict Detection**: In Resource Allocation sheet, overlapping bookings are flagged in red.
